In most cases, the cause of lichen planus can't be found. It is not caused by stress, but sometimes emotional stress makes it worse. This disorder has been known to occur after contact with certain chemicals, such as those used to develop color photographs. Some cases of lichen planus may be linked to chronic hepatitis C virus infection. This virus can cause serious liver diseases, such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. Your doctor may need to order a blood test to check for hepatitis C virus. In some people, certain drugs cause lichen planus. These drugs include medications for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and malaria, antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain killers, etc. It is important to tell your doctor all the medicines you are taking. The rashes will go away after the offending drug is stopped. People who have lichen planus in the mouth may be allergic to certain products used during dental procedures, such as amalgam fillings. Patch testing may be used to specify the allergy; removal of dental material is recommended and may result in cure.
